Why is Israel bombing civvies and not military installations? Sounds like a war crime to me!

I apologize. My high blood pressure sometimes clouds my thinking. What I was attempting to clarify was that it really wasn't a question of Israel finding a better approach than also hitting civilians as collateral casualties---because it was an original obligation of Hamas not to create that problem.
There's a lot of agitation over Israel "committing war crimes," but the original war crime (use of human shields) was committed by Hamas. Every combatant has a clear right to target opposing combatant forces, however situated. I see a lot of confusion about the subject of war crimes in the Ukrainian context and I have become sensitized about it.
You are fine. I just wanted you to be aware that your position is stronger than you thought.
thanks for the clarification and knowledge on tge subject. I was just using my own logic, so the background on the rules of War helps a lot.
It is one of the reasons that we situate ICBM silos far from population centers, as they would be expected nuclear targets. We try to do that with military facilities, but there is a lot of pre-atomic infrastructure that would be very expensive to re-establish.
